And what makes you so sure that this was exact cause? Another
generalization.
The inode holding the log files metadata was no longer writeable. What
else would cause that?
I don't know what the cause is, and there is no point speculating.
So you are saying that there is no relation in writing many times to one
inode and the block containing the inode no longer writeable? This seems
obvious to me because flash memory is involved. Perhaps you can give a
better explaination?
what
matters is that you made a conclusion based on sample of grand total of
1 case -- that's a pretty bad generalization.
So what? Marco made a statement that he has seen no flash memory fail
because of writing to it. I have seen it fail once. So the general
statement "flash memory does not fail because of writing" can't be true
from my expirience. Thats why I wrote that generalizations are always
false. Do I have to add smileys to that sentence?
Then you instantiate your previous generalization and accuse others of not
stress testing enough.
Oh, come on. Pointing out that there may be some use case of flash
memory (writing to one block over and over again) that makes it fail is
an accusation? Are you serious?
Kind regards,
Markus
